Talking about career and job prospects in India after B.Com (Hons), it isn't having much of opportunities as there is so much of competition out there. So yes, it can be said that B.Com (Hons) is not enough for good career building. The exception is that you studied from SRCC or Hansraj that can get you placed with a package of 10 LPA or so. Hence, it is advisable to go for post graduation or some professional qualification in order to build a career. Talking about the job prospects abroad, it carries hardly any opportunities out there. See, I agree that skills do matter but in order to show skills, it is essential to get a job or get an interview call which isn't easy with B.Com (Hons) degree nowadays as there are so many others with BBA and Master's degrees. And yes, companies prefer management graduates over normal graduates.
